Help me write a story on "celebrity justice" ASAP!

My editor just called and needs this tomorrow if humanly possible. Just 600 words, thank goodness.

If anyone has links to articles (preferably short summaries!) or editorials on celebrity trials, please post them here.

Thanks!

1. We build them up ...

We build them up so we can tear them down (Martha Steward, Jose Canseco, Woody Allen)

but we don't tear them down too much, so we let them go...
(Robert Blake, OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson)

I'd focus your article on older trials. Everything old is new again.

2. Yes ... start with Fatty Arbuckle

interesting case to say the least.

I was looking at my copy of The Onion Our Dumb Century and they had a story with the headline "Fatty Arbuckle Trial of The Century". A joke, but on who?
